Dr. Annie Lennox(!) Pays Tribute to 60s Music

Tom Ashbrook had a great "On Point" show this morning, on NPR, interviewing Nobel Prizewinning economist Joseph Stiglitz on the vexed question of Student Loans. 

More on that shortly. 

Then he played a recorded highlight of Annie Lennox's Speech at Commencement at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she, Willie Nelson and Carole King were all awarded Honorary Doctorates.

Lennox recounted how she actually dropped out of the Royal Academy of Music in London, then gave a wonderful musical tribute to the music of the late 60s/early70s which inspired her so much.

You can watch her performance here.  (Scroll down to the second item).  For those in a hurry, the Music bit starts about 8 minutes in to the Video.

If you still haven't had enough of Annie, here she is with "Money Can't Buy It" (seems appropriate).
